Speeches by Buckley.

“Certainly, we hear that intention across the policy piece, but we did hear recently from those working in the sector, sector specialists, who asked us whether they are joined up across the delivery framework. Does the national infrastructure plan match the land use framework? Does it match the energy plan? Is that cros…”

“On that point, I will come to you, Mr Spiers. The CCC’s advice also stresses that progress in one sector must not be constrained by delays in another. For example, progress on grid capacity should not limit the roll-out of heat pumps or electric vehicles. Where do you see the most significant interdependencies? How can…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Mr Dowd. I congratulate the hon. Member for Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe (David Chadwick) on securing this important debate. Cross-border healthcare affects us in Shropshire because our Shrewsbury and Telford hospital NHS trust serves not just 353,000 residents across Shrop…”

“Excellent. How will Brazil ensure that small island developing states have a meaningful voice in COP30 negotiations, including leadership roles in areas that are directly relevant to them? His Excellency Antonio de Aguiar Patriota: Again, I would go back to the fact that if there is something Brazil brings to the table…”

“Will you be taking them into the jungle to see for themselves where some of the deforestation is? His Excellency Antonio de Aguiar Patriota: I am sure many of the people visiting will take advantage of that. I was very pleased to hear that Prince William has decided to attend the COP and he has taken a very strong inte…”

“Your Excellency, you mentioned the local concept of Mutirão—the communal effort—but in the light of concerns around the accommodation, affordability and access, how is Brazil looking to deliver an inclusive COP that is accessible to a wide range of countries, voices and organisations? His Excellency Antonio de Aguiar P…”

“Will the Leader of the House join me in welcoming this week’s record investment in flooded communities, and ensure that our local community volunteers—such as the Shrewsbury Quarry, Minsterley and Coleham flood action groups—are supported as per the recommendation in the Environmental Audit Committee’s flood resilience…”

“The hon. Gentleman is giving a very detailed speech. Would he agree that we already have the annual carbon budget audit, which looks each year at exactly those emissions and was what drew to our attention the growth in this sector and why we need to focus exactly on driving down emissions from the aviation sector, whic…”

“That is really helpful. You have pretty much covered the latter part. Could you just add a bit more to the process around developing objectives? We have here that the CCC had a request for agreed planning assumptions, including a minimum climate scenario and timeframe from DEFRA in August 2025. Is there anything you ne…”

“You touched upon the Well-Adapted UK element of this fourth climate change risk assessment. Is there anything else you want to flag in there that would touch upon this?”

“It seems like a key area for us is to close some gaps straightaway.”

“That is our next question. How do they compare the data around mental health as opposed to physical? Do you feel that has already had some coverage?”

“There was a whole definition of environmental anxiety. I thought there was a whole subcategory of anxiety.”

“Do you have similar relationships with the Department of Health in the public health sphere?”

“So, not yet, but you would like to?”

“Are you saying there is not even a baseline, never mind that these are being monitored?”

“So, a plan for the future. Thank you very much.”

“Similar metrics for those equal partners to have them on the same grid?”

“That leads on really nicely to the question around health and wellbeing. The adverse weather and health plan has goals related to the prevention of mortality, morbidity and the increase in years of life lost due to these adverse weather events. Is it the CCC’s contention that these metrics reframed for other climate ha…”

“I draw attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests as co-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on British buses. Today’s debate is so important to the people of Shrewsbury, as we have lost over two thirds of our bus routes in the past 10 years. We are one of the largest towns in the UK, w…”
